    Frustration installing SuSE 9.2 mini iso

    I'm trying to install the mini iso of SuSE 9.2 from the PCF from a couple of months ago. I've successfully burned the disc, but can't get the installer to start. I get a "boot from CD" message in the BIOS, but Windows boots normally after a few seconds.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Don't know if its just my mobo, but I had to press a key when it said something like "booting from CD...Press any key now..."

    If you do not press a key in time then Windows will boot up...

    This of course, is assuming that you have changed the boot sequence in the BIOS from "HDD0" (or "IDE0") to "CDROM"

    make sure your machine is set to boot from CD first in the bios,

    then make sure you read all on screen prompts. As said above in some situations you have to press a key to start the boot from CD.
    It is Inevitable.....
